[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly OP is interested in AAP, or she wouldn't be asking. I moved a 5th grader. I would not have moved her again less than a year later.  And kids do move to Centers all the time-- but almost always at the beginning of third. If you don't want or value or have kids who qualify for AAP, fine. And a valid POV. But then, maybe don't tell other parents how the program does or does not work. Or is or is not valuable. Lots of people think it is very valuable. And OP clearly thinks her kids might qualify and it is worth considering, or she wouldn't ask.

And having a kid start two new schools in less than a year is crazy if it can be avoided.  FCPS knows this. Which is why they allowed expedited placement in OP's situation and make a quick decision.  [/quote]

I actually have kids in AAP who have been through the center, LLIV, base school level III/advanced math services, and a kid who is solidly gen ed. And I have moved kids ito and out of the system/state, including older elementary who were qualified as gifted in other states (military)

This board incorrectly makes it sound as if The Only schools worth attending are level IV centers, especially the TJ feeders, and that is simply not true.

OP has not returned to say whether or not her kids are gifted qualified in another state. She only posted their grades, and that she is confused by this crazy forum.

Her kids might be GT already. In which case she might want to go in one direction.

Or, OP might be just what she says, a mom with bright or average kids who happens to be very confused by this forum into thinking the only way her kids will get a decent educationaway from the undesireables is to get them into AAP, particularly at a Langley pyramid TJ mania school, because according to this forum AAP is comprised of almost halfof fcps students, including mostly decidedly average kids, and any kid not in AAP is either a dolt, ESL/farms, or a kid who is brighter than all those average kids in AAP who got robbed by thesystem.
